Texan76 Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 Things are coming along. Progress has been a little slow due to simultaneous projects, but it's getting there. Fit has been good to average, with the exception of the intakes which were absolutely dreadful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texan76 Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 Got the exhaust painted. I used GSI Mr. Metal Color buffable Iron for the inside of the exhaust, and used Vallejo Metal Color shades of Jet Exhaust, Steel, and Pale Burnt Metal for the rest. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hewy Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Hi tex really like the paint , looking very good , like the panzer putty too ,,you say fit is good to average, but whats the kit like for accuracy,the great wall f15 is supposed to be a very nice kit,probably the best f15 ,but i believe we only have academy in 1/48 in this scale for the 29 do you know if its better than that one,.?

Texan76 Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 This kit is far superior to the Academy kit. Despite a few fit issues, this kit is easily the best Mig-29 available. I recommend this for intermediate to experienced modelers. As far as accuracy, I am not a Mig expert, but it sure looks like a Mig-29 to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcap Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Really nice progress on the MiG 29. I will stand corrected but I think GWH reworked the engine intakes areas where you have encountered problems on their later releases in the MiG 29 series (9-13 & SMT) and the fit is now markedly better. Look forward to seeing some more progress as I have a 9-13 to eventually build myself and this has been an interesting article. Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary That would certainly explain why I had no big issues with the intakes on my 9-12 Early Type release! I did wonder why people were having problems with the fit. Good to see some progress with this, looking good. Murray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan76 Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 All the colors are on. I'm going to let it dry overnight, then spray a coat of Future tomorrow in preparation for decals. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Glynn The Academy MiG-29 is a totally different kit generation. With a lot of AM it builds into a nice kit though..... What are some fit issues here would translate into major resin or PE integration work and its resulting fit issues there!!!! By the way, excellent work Texan76a 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan76 Posted April 14, 2017 Author Share Posted April 14, 2017 Got the main decals on from the aftermarket sheet. Now time for all those dang stencils. Not looking forward to that. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan76 Posted April 14, 2017 Author Share Posted April 14, 2017 Got the stencils on the pylons, missiles, and fuel tank. Unfortunately, there was a shortage of decals for the Archer missile pylons. GWH only printed enough for two. So I did two with decals on one side, and put the opposite side decals on the other two. Tomorrow I will start the task of the airframe stencils. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan76 Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 Got the missiles on the pylons, landing gear attached, and panel line wash complete. After drying overnight, I will put on a matte coat in preparation for final weathering and assembly. Getting close to the end of the line. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
